Anticipatory Grief - is this why SA's so angry right now?
Updated | By JacPod
Futurist Graeme Codrington joins Good Things Guy Brent Lindeque again to chat about hope during the Coronavirus pandemic… and what that means for South Africa.
If you haven't got angry yet about COVID yet, you haven't understood it properly, right? So you do have to go through anger and you can just look yourself in the mirror, and realise it's okay. However the danger is getting stuck there, and even worse of a danger is enjoying it.- Graeme Codrington
We're four months into South Africa's extended lockdown and it's also been four months since Graeme Codrington's
last appearance on Brent's podcast. Now, Graeme is back
to talk about South Africa’s anger and where it stems from.
Graeme Codrington is a South African author, futurist and strategy
consultant. He's been very vocal about the Coronavirus and what it means
for South Africa.
Some of his thoughts have been very serious, talking
about the elderly, the people with underlying illnesses and the poor.
But he's also added a different perspective and ultimately… hope.
Listen below as Graeme and Brent talk about the state of the country
after four months of lockdown. The conversation is deep, hard and
ultimately comforting.
If you missed Brent and Graeme's first discussion from 17 March this year, just as South Africa was heading into lockdown, find it below.
Meanwhile, what started as a casual conversation about how unbelievable it is that
lockdown has put universities and the world on pause ended up being the
first step in creating UNLOCK.
UNLOCK began as a solution to the
trials and tribulation that came with online learning during the
nationwide lockdown and is growing to become an all-inclusive student
platform.
Friends, Luke Tollman and Elijah Greenhill, had always had a
keen interest in innovating, inspiring and giving back.
Tollman advises that, “This site and platform is a result of countless hours of work and effort to make sure that each and every person that comes across UNLOCK has the best experience possible.”
Luke and Elijah join Brent Lindeque to chat about their amazing new lockdown business. Listen to their conversation below.
